    "content": "The leave of the Speaker is not granted automatically. Further, Standing Order No. 54 (2) states:- “At the conclusion of the debate, the Speaker shall put the question.” Standing Order No. 54(3) gives exception in which the putting of the question may be deferred to a future date after you request or when you do not have the requisite numbers necessary for voting. Hon. Senators, I therefore wish to take this opportunity to appeal to Senators to keep track of the business before the Senate and to contact the office of the Speaker or that of the Clerk if you have particular difficulties in transacting business before the Senate. Usually, we at the Rules and Business Committee (RBC), take great care to ensure that whatever business is listed in good time for purposes of Senators getting to know the business before the House. This communication is therefore made to notify you that the Chair will have no option but to drop Motions and Bills not moved at the time allotted by the RBC. This will be strictly enforced. I hope that, now, with our new ambience and comfortable sitting arrangements, we want to believe that is something of the past. I thank you."
